The clock is ticking today to work on Thursday’s Drawing, that and we have a storm bearing down on us – always scary so I need to move along.
Didn’t get as much done as I wanted too on Sorrow, but I was able to at least keep the 1/2 hour planned. Today’s work continued on the back of the statue, as the folds of fabric close in around her body. I hold myself back, because I would love to just have at it with a lower-valued graphite pencil, but it’s best I stay disciplined and stick with the game plan of slowly developing the fabric because it’s the majority of the subject and there would be no excuse for sloppy work. Most of the patina will be developed as part of finishing touches on the drawing. Sorrow drawn on Starthmore Bristol Vellum paper with 4H, 2H, HB, B, 2B and a bit of 3B.
Have a wonderful weekend, thank you for checking in . . .

I have no worries that it won’t be anything but fabulous when it’s finished!!! Storms are getting worse every year it seems. Stay safe. xoxo
Thanks Rhonda!
A storm and sorrow… a great match and unfolding picture. Nice!
Thanks Joerg – appreciate it!
Hope the storm isn’t too scary. 🙂
Thanks Gallivanta, for a time you just watch the skies and news, and get ready to go to a safe area when you get the word. We escaped last night, but others Northeast of us weren’t so lucky w/baseball size hail – we were in the bulls-eye and then not (whew).
Good to know.
Of course it’s excellent ! – it’s like a Saturday matinee from my childhood, only classier.
And also on Friday (for me). [grin]
‘only classier…’

Thank you Z! Hm, well we’ll see the toughest part is yet to come – how to build character in the hand and face.
Ah M.R. there you go again! Thank you for your enthusiasm!
